Although the LEDs 134 are disposed on one side of the light guide plate 150, the LEDs 134 may be disposed on both sides of the light guide plate 150.

The LED 134 is mounted on an LED substrate 132 made of a metal or a flexible film. The LED substrate 132 is disposed along a side surface of the light guide plate 150 and faces a side surface of the light guide plate 150. An LED 134 is mounted on the LED substrate 132, The light from the LED 134 is incident on the light guide plate 150. [

However, the present invention is not limited to the LED 134 as a light source for supplying light to the liquid crystal panel 110. In the present invention, the LED 134 is illustrated as an example of a light source for convenience of explanation. The light source of the present invention is not limited to the LED 134.

A fluorescent lamp such as CCFL (Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp) or EFFL (External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) may be used as the light source of the present invention. When such a fluorescent lamp is used, the use of the LED substrate 132 becomes unnecessary, and a lamp housing for accommodating the fluorescent lamp is disposed on one side of the light guide plate. Reflective material is applied to the inner surface of the lamp housing to reflect the light emitted from the fluorescent lamp to the side of the light guide plate 150 to improve the light efficiency.

The guide panel 162 is coupled to the lower cover 140 in such a manner that the upper surface thereof surrounds the edge of the optical sheet 138 of the liquid crystal panel 110 and the side surface of the lower cover 140. The liquid crystal panel 110 is seated on the upper surface of the guide panel 162.

A reflection plate 136 is disposed on the lower portion of the light guide plate 150 and the upper portion of the lower cover 140. The reflection plate 136 reflects the light emitted from the lower surface of the light guide plate 150 and reflects the light to the inside of the light guide plate 136, thereby improving the light efficiency.

The upper cover 170 is mechanically coupled to the lower cover 140 and the guide panel 162 to assemble the liquid crystal panel 110 and the backlight. The upper surface of the upper cover 170 is disposed on a portion of the edge of the liquid crystal panel 110 and the side surface of the upper cover 170 is coupled to the lower cover 140 and the guide panel 162.

A fixing member 171 for fixing the liquid crystal panel 110 is disposed inside the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170. As shown in FIG. The fixing member 171 is made of a soft and elastic resin such as rubber or silicone and is joined to the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 so as to extend from the upper surface 170a, .

 The upper cover 170 is not provided with the fixing member 171 extending from the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and the upper cover itself made of metal is disposed on the upper portion of the liquid crystal panel 110, The upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 is not directly disposed on the liquid crystal panel 110 but the fixing member 171 is disposed for the following reason.

In the display element, other elements such as a display panel and a backlight are assembled by the lower cover and the upper cover. Since the upper cover covers the edge area of the upper surface of the display element on which the screen is displayed, May be exposed through the screen display area of the electronic device. However, since the upper cover of the display element is mainly made of metal, when a part of the upper cover is exposed to the outside of the screen display area, light incident from the outside is reflected by the exposed upper cover, An image quality defect such as the occurrence of a bright line or a twinkling in the edge area of the screen occurs.

However, in the present invention, since the fixing member 171 extending from the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and covering the edge region of the liquid crystal panel 110 is formed of resin such as rubber or silicone, Even when a part of the fixing member 171 is exposed through the screen display area of the electronic apparatus when the light is incident on the screen, the reflectance of light incident from the outside of the resin is very low as compared with the reflectance of a metal used in the past, A bright line is generated in the edge area or an image quality defect in which this area is flashing does not occur. Further, the fixing member 171 can be formed of a material capable of absorbing light as shown in black, thereby effectively preventing defects.

3A, when the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 is extended to the upper portion of the liquid crystal panel 110 without a separate fixing member 171 made of an elastic member as in the present invention, The upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 directly comes into contact with the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 110 and strictly speaking the polarizing plate disposed on the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 110. Generally, since the upper cover 170 is made of metal, when the polarizer is brought into contact with the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170, scratches are generated in the polarizer, Which causes light leakage.

Further, since the upper cover 170 is formed of a metal by a mold process, a burr may be formed on the upper surface of the upper cover 170 during the pressing process. Such burrs come into contact with the surface of the polarizer plate, Thereby further enhancing the light leakage phenomenon of the liquid crystal display element.

On the other hand, when the liquid crystal panel 110 is a transverse electric field mode liquid crystal display element, a transverse electric field parallel to the surface of the liquid crystal panel 110 is applied to the liquid crystal layer of the liquid crystal panel 110, And controls the amount of light passing through the liquid crystal layer. When the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 applies pressure to the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 110 by applying an impact to the upper cover 170, the electric field horizontally applied to the surface of the substrate is distorted by the pressure . That is, an electric field that is not horizontal to the surface of the substrate is generated. Distortion of such an electric field distorts the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer arranged along the electric field. Therefore, the liquid crystal molecules near the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 Light leakage occurs at the edge of the screen.

3B, a buffer member 172 such as a pad or a tape is provided between the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and the liquid crystal panel 110, It is possible to prevent direct contact between the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and the liquid crystal panel 110 and prevent the liquid crystal panel 110 from being in contact with the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170, Scratches can be prevented from occurring. The upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 presses the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 110 to thereby arrange the liquid crystal molecules 110. In this case, It is possible to prevent the light leakage phenomenon.

However, when the cushioning member 172 is provided as described above, an expensive pad or tape is required, which increases the manufacturing cost and complicates the manufacturing process due to the addition of the cushioning member 172 there was. Furthermore, since the worker must manually perform the bonding of the pad or tape, the manufacturing process is delayed.

In the present invention, the fixing member 171 is disposed on one side of the upper surface of the upper cover 170, so that the liquid crystal panel 110 can be fixed without a separate buffer member. Since the fixing member 171 is made of a resin such as soft rubber or silicone or the like compared to the metal, even when the fixing member 171 contacts the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 110 or the surface of the polarizer, The occurrence of scratches on the surface or the polarizing plate can be prevented.

Further, since the resin such as rubber or silicone has elasticity, even when an impact is applied from the outside, the elastic body absorbs the impact. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a light leakage phenomenon caused by the distortion of the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules by pressing the edge region of the liquid crystal panel by the impact.

Of course, the material of the fixing member 171 of the present invention is not limited to the resin, but may be a material that is strong enough not to generate scratches in contact with the liquid crystal panel or the polarizing plate, , It is possible to apply any substance.

FIGS. 4A to 4C are views showing a coupling structure between the fixing member 171 and the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170, respectively. 4B is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 4A.

4A and 4B, the fixing member 171 is formed in a rectangular band shape having a constant width d and is engaged with the upper end of the upper surface of the upper cover 170, The fixing member 171 is disposed on the upper side of the liquid crystal panel 110 when the display device is assembled, disposed inside the cover 170, that is, in a region where the liquid crystal panel 110 is located.

At this time, the width d of the fixing member 171 is formed to be smaller than the width of the blocking region of the liquid crystal panel 110 shown in FIG. 2, that is, the area a covered with the case, the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 made of a metal is positioned on the upper surface edge region of the liquid crystal panel 110 when the liquid crystal display element is assembled, And is not located on the upper surface of the panel 110. As a result, it is possible to prevent the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 from contacting with the surface of the liquid crystal panel 110 or the polarizer, thereby preventing scratches on the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 110 or the polarizer, The upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 does not transmit pressure to the liquid crystal panel 110, so that light leakage due to electric field distortion can be prevented.

The width d of the fixing member 171 may be any size as long as it is larger than an edge area of the liquid crystal panel 110 covered with the case, but it is preferably as small as possible in order to minimize the size of the bezel.

The thickness t1 of the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and the thickness t2 of the fixing member 171 are set to be substantially similar to each other so that the fixing member 171 is fixed to the upper cover 170 The upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and the fixing member 171 form the same plane and the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 to which the fixing member 171 is coupled, Can be regarded as a single plate.

In the above description, the fixing member 171 is referred to as a separate name from the upper cover 170, but the viewpoint (the upper surface of the upper cover 170 to which the fixing member 171 is coupled is viewed as one plate) The structure including the fixing member 171 itself may be regarded as the upper cover 170. In this case, while the upper cover 170 is formed as an integrated structure in the related art, the upper cover 170 may be regarded as having two separable structures. That is, the upper surface of the upper cover 170 can be regarded as a first upper surface 170a formed integrally with the upper cover 170 and a second upper surface 171 configured to be detachable from the first upper surface 170a. have. At this time, an area disposed on the side surface of the display panel 110 and coupled to the guide panel and the lower cover may be regarded as a main body in which the first upper surface 170a and the second upper surface 171 are installed.

The fixing member 171 is formed by an outsert molding method. That is, an elastic member such as a resin is molded by an outsert method, and an elastic member is fixedly attached to an end of the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 formed by the pressing method, To the cover (170).

5 is a partially enlarged view showing an upper surface 170a and a fixing member 171 of the upper cover 170 coupled by outsour molding. 5, protrusions 170b and recesses 171a may be formed on the mating surfaces of the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and the fixing member 171, respectively. The protrusions 170b and the recesses 171a are used to securely fix the fixing member 171, which is molded and injected during outsert molding, to the upper surface 170a. That is, at least one protrusion 170b having a width, a thickness, and a length set to the end face of the upper surface 170a of the metal upper cover 170 formed by pressing, that is, the engaging surface is formed, The recess 171a is formed in the fixing member 171 and the contact area of the engaging surface is increased so that the fixing member 171 is firmly fixed to the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 do.

The protrusion 170b and the recess 171a are formed on the coupling surface of the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 and the coupling surface of the fixing member 171. The upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170, And the engaging surface of the fixing member 171 and the engaging surface of the fixing member 171, respectively. In this case, a concave portion having a predetermined depth and width is formed on the coupling surface of the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 by a press, and then molded by the outsert molding onto the coupling surface, and the fixing member 171 The fixing member 171 is firmly fixed to the upper surface 170a of the upper cover 170 by the increase of the contact area of the coupling surface.

The fixing member 171 may be formed in various colors. When the display device is supplied to the set maker and assembled to the electronic device, the appearance of the electronic device can be decorated with a frame effect that surrounds the screen outer edge of the electronic device with a specific color. When the color of the fixing member 171 is formed in a desired color by the set maker and the color of the fixing member 171 is provided, the set maker not only displays the image on which the image is implemented when assembling the display device into the electronic device, The edge of the outer edge of the screen of the electronic device can be surrounded by a specific color by a simple method.

In the case where the upper cover 170 is formed of metal press, a separate painting process or coating process is performed to form the upper surface of the upper cover 170 covering the edge of the liquid crystal panel 110 with a specific color The manufacturing cost is increased and the manufacturing process is delayed.

However, in the present invention, the fixing member 171 can be formed in various colors by a simple method by including a dye or pigment of a desired color in the molding material during out-molding. Particularly, when the fixing member 171 is formed in black, even when a part of the fixing member 171 is exposed to the screen display region of the electronic apparatus, a bright line is generated in the edge region of the screen due to reflection of light, This makes it possible to prevent defects. Of course, unlike the conventional metal, the present invention can prevent the screen edge region from flashing even when the fixing member 171 is not formed of black, but the fixing member 171 may be formed in black It is possible to more effectively prevent a bright line and a flashing defect in the edge area of the screen due to the reflection of light.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the area of the upper surface of the upper cover disposed above the liquid crystal panel is formed of a soft and elastic material rather than a metal, scratches can be prevented from occurring on the liquid crystal panel or the polarizer, Thereby preventing the impact from being transmitted to the liquid crystal panel.

Although the structure of the present invention has been described in detail in the foregoing detailed description, it is for convenience of explanation and the present invention is not limited to this specific structure.
